Abstract
Candida haemulonii species complex (CHSC) are emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogens able to cause life-threatening human infections in at-risk populations for invasive candidiasis worldwide. A recent laboratory survey conducted in 12 medical centers found that prevalence rates of Candida haemulonii complex isolates rose from 0.9 to 1.7% along the period between 2008 and 2019. We present a mini-review addressing recent aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis and therapy of infections due to CHSC. (AU)
